European Folk Day 2025

European Folk Day is made by you, about you and for us all

European Folk Day is the milestone for everyone in the world of folk music to show that we can come together and that we are an essential part of Europe’s rich cultural spectrum. Join us for European Folk Day as we highlight the value of the traditional arts, whoever you are and wherever you are. This is a small collection of songs, tunes and stories from a few of our tradition bearers, commissioned by Welsh Government to show the breadth of our traditions in Cymru.
